I am lying here awake. It is 6am here and I haven’t slept a wink. I am so #depressed and #anxious. I have struggled all my life with depression and anxiety since working as a #hospital #chaplain during the first wave of #COVID. I worry about my family and feel like I have failed them. Can’t even replace our broken refrigerator. And my work to get a degree in #psychology is taking longer than I thought it would. I am such a #burden to everyone. Sorry to rant.

I recommend Vanessa Zoltan's book, "Praying With Jane Eyre," for reflections on choosing a favorite #novel as one's #scripture.
(She is a #humanist #chaplain and #podcaster.)

The original #ULC based out of Modesto is the only denomination of Universal Life recognized by the Association of Professional Chaplains to endorse people for this particular type of ministry. #chaplaincy #chaplain #chaplains

I may be stuck at work, but at least I have a good view of the sunny blue sky above this hospital. #chaplain #FensterFreitag #windowFriday

#January 3, 1873
#OTD Mary Strong Clemens, #Botanist, is born.
After her #Army #Chaplain hubby (Joseph) retired, they worked together.
Mary collected #Plants & Joe #Dried them for shipping.
In 1936, Joe died in New Guinea.
Six days later, Mary signed off on a #Herbarium sheet for a local tree & then added these #Heartfelt & #Touching #Words:
"It was under this #Tree that my #Soul's #Companion, for over 40 years of #Married life, #Bade me #Farewell for the higher life."

Chaplain Elysius wants YOU to BEHAVE!
It took me a while to get to like him, when reading Nick Kyme's #Salamanders-novels, because he's a very complex guy. But like with Apothecary Fugis it was worth allowing myself to get to know him and putting aside my reservation against any imperial zealotry.
I mean, they carry the little brothers of Illuminarum as weapons and preaching Lorgar's word - what's not to like? 😁

A little aging humor for #chaplain and #healthcare folks. It's not laugh-out-loud funny, of course, because it's written from a #hospice perspective.

It turns out that I'm still a little bitter about all of the people who went home in March 2020 and learned new crafts and how to bake bread and watched movies for three+ months during lockdown.
But instead, I've chosen to work as both a #chaplain and a #minister. I have powered through this without any real vacations at all.
Another couple of officers for my Imperial Fists, a Praetor in Cataprachtii Armour and a Chaplain

Just got home from an overnight shift at the hospital. The ICU is full, plus folks in ED waiting to be admitted. Is the sickest group of patients I have seen in that unit since the height of the covid crisis. If you're praying sort please lift up a word for our nurses.

The difference between #thankfulness and #gratitude is the difference between words and actions. Giving thanks is usually an immediate verbal response to an action of favor. Gratitude implies being moved to action from a moral and ethical drive for reciprocation, sometimes months or years into the future. I serve as a #chaplain because of those who have been there for me when I needed them the most. What gratitude inspires you to action?
